when ronald reagan -- it was too cold. a lot too cold for democrats. they couldn't find anybody to vote for them. 49 states and wipe odd. clinton and gore and a lot of people who took that technology. they found a way to talk about values in a way that framed it in terms of the student and advancement of the middle class. i think the most important thing that can happen for the republicans is a republican leadership council akin to the democratic leadership council. when will clind on did that work bill clinton started winning elections. >> what do they need to do? >> i think they need a strong competitive republican party. i think the party has to start moving towards the right and recognizing the societal and demographic changes taking place. we have to demonstrate we are a party of the people and not just a party of the elitists and the super pac guys. we have to stop saying the 47%. that was a terrible line. we have to convince the american people especially the minorities that the party has an agenda for you. we can help you get education for your

so as ronald reagan used to say, if you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat. i want to make them feel the heat from the american people. >> so senator, i'm just curious because you've been on the inside, and you're watching this gun debate from the outside of the halls of congress. what you think about the nra's response to everything since newtown? and could they be a better part of the conversation -- obviously, i have a very, you know, opposing point of view compared to what they stand for, but could they be a better part of the conversation had they acted differently? >> well, probably all players could. folks immediately jumped in on the left and the right, said here's what we have to do. here's what we can't do. and i think what you're starting to do this morning, i think what we're doing all over the country is stepping back, trying to have a discussion to dig down and understand the root causes and how we can over the short term and long term create a safer country for our children and all of our citizens. but there are a lot of things we need to have

how come you're not like ronald reagan and throwing back whiskey with tip o'neill. it is that stuff, as you've been noting and he pointed out, he does this but i think this is where there's a little bit of disconnect. i think there are people on the outside and look at what other presidents -- and say, why don't you do this more? the white house will say, guess what, people used to say the same thing about clinton and reagan. my guess is the truth's somewhere in between. it's not exactly as if the president uses his golf game to lobby members of congress, he doesn't. not as if he has a card game once a month he's bringing over the leader. he doesn't do things like that. is that part of the job description? >> the president said at the press conference yesterday, he has played golf with john boehner, does a good golf game. it didn't help in the negotiations. boehner keeps refusing invitations to multiple state dinners. there seems to be a problem when members of the republican caucus don't want to be seen to be having fun with the president or having dinner with the

reagan later tore down. but jimmy carter's vision of government is getting a little bit more of a second chance, i think, with obama's second speech. >> reaffirmed, perhaps, even. >> luke, you've covered the hill. what was the hill's response, yesterday, to the president's speech, to the events of -- >> before president obama had even left the luncheon, there was a statement out from cathy mcmorris rodgers, number 4 in the house gop conference who basically said, okay, there's a lot of nice words in this speech, but we would like to see some literal action. and the literal action is persuading the senate to pass a budget so we can move forward on fiscal issues. so i think you'll see some folks on the republican side, say, it was a beautiful moment for their country. obviously, they'll understand the significance of having an african-american president sworn in for a second time. but today, there was a press conference at 5:00 p.m., which is the first time we heard from house speaker john boehner since decemb

reagan had the good sense to take a hollywood look and say, wait! the west front of the capitol is a far better spot. >> the lighting. that is the cutest thing i've ever seen. >> thank you. >> you look definitely like you. >> just like me. >> okay, so david, i'm going to make a correction, though. because i read this the other day to a group on the set who went, oh, ouch. but you say, a flat, partisan, and pedestrian speech. and the first thing you say is, "the only voice that really soared at midday was beyonce's," and now we know that wasn't soaring either. she was lip syncing. >> maybe that's the secret, we need more lip syncing. >> i'm sorry, i don't get it. the spokesmodel for pepsi couldn't bear to be less than perfect, so she lip syncs? >> the great thing, if she was lip syncing, was to rip the earpiece out of her ear, as if it's totally live, just sing out. >> i would rather be real and a little imperfect. i don't know what the -- i don't get it. i don't get it. >> "the star-spangled banner" is really hard. >> but that's why she was booked,
